knew!A talk by Clive Whichelow(Local writer and member of The Wimbledon
Society)In addition to the nine existing pubs in Wimbledon Village
there are many more which have vanished in the mists of time: The
Beehive, the Jolly Gardeners, The Lord Palmerston, etc - but where were
they, and what were their stories? The existing pubs include the Rose &
Crown, Dog & Fox, Swan, Hand in Hand, Crooked Billet etc. But which is
the oldest, which one was used as a changing room for Wimbledon FC and
where exactly was the first Watney brewery? Find out at this talk. The
